The Wave 3 Indy Jones line was cancelled?
Drat, I was thinking that the Indy in a Tux would make a great 007 Mugg.

Part of the profit about Muggs is the lack of new sculpting. They are usually based around paint applications, and therefore save a ton of money for Hasbro and also alow for quicker production. Think about it, not only is it the same body for each figure, it also streches over 3-5 different liscenses (Transformers is coming soon to join Star Wars, Marvel, GI JOE, and Indina Jones). That's some thinking!
I highly doubt that there would ever be DC Muggs, as Mattel does DC. Unlike Minimates, Muggs are owned by Hasbro..

According to a Hasbro rep, interviewed on the Star Wars-related REBELSCUM website, any future Indiana Jones product offered would be based on how well the line sold in the wake of the latest movie, and sadly, as none of it apparently sold that well (at a couple of Walmart's in my area, the Indy Jones toys are literally piled in a heap in the discount toy aisle), it means we won't be seeing much new Indiana Jones stuff, from Hasbro, at any rate.

Plus, Hasbro has some very cool employees...
some even named "dave"
Some not.
In all fairness, though, some of the "Daves" there could quite possibly be jerks...
Anyway- Very cool Iron Man! Light up features I assume?

Hey, wait a minute I'm a Dave!!! I hope I'm in the right column. Everytime Mr. Byrne posts up a new item it almost makes me want to start up a new collection, the rate he's going he'll have to buy out his neighbors houses to use to store all those empty boxes.

Brad-
You're dealing with a Kids in the Hall fan from going back 20 years (yikes).
Actually saw them perform this year in April!

Dave...hope you enjoyed the link! Never seen them live myself, but I started watching them in high school back when they were still on Showtime. Closest I got to seeing them live was a taping of That 70's Show. Kevin MacDonald did a guest spot as Pastor Dave.
These Are The Daves I Know is one of those songs that lingers in my brain...I'm glad I got an opportunity to share it with the forum!
